An Xin asked weakly, “You don’t need to plant advertisements in the plot?”
What An Xin was talking about was the most popular advertising method for investors of television dramas nowadays. However, this method threw many viewers off and disgusted them. However, because it was all the same in the market now, the audience could only accept this.
Jiang Huai waved his hand. “No need. Eliminate all the factors that affect the quality of the drama!”
An Xin and Feng Bin felt a little dizzy, as if they had been hit by a surprise from the sky.
The two of them only slowly regained their senses after bidding farewell to Jiang Huai and Tan Ming.
An Xin reached out and pinched Feng Bin’s face.
“Hey! Why are you pinching me?!” Feng Bin covered his face and looked at An Xin gloomily.
An Xin laughed foolishly for a while. “Your reaction was so real. It seems like what happened just now really happened.”
The residual pain on his face made Feng Bin roll his eyes angrily. “I’m already extremely sure now!”
“Speaking of which, Jiang Huai seems to have invested in our drama because of An’an!”
An Xin stopped giggling and replied seriously, “Not seems to have, that was definitely the case. In a sense, she’s our real sugar daddy!”
The two of them came to the same conclusion. They had to take extra care of An’an and let her feel the warmth of a family! They had to ensure that there would not be any withdrawals.
“We were supposed to meet next Monday at 10:00, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Today is Sunday, so we’ll sign the contract tomorrow?”
“That’s right.”
“Why do 1 still suspect that I’m dreaming?”
“So why did you pinch me just now!”
“Don’t be so petty. I’ll treat you to hotpot later.”
Sometimes, the opportunities in life were just so magical. The two people who were about to give up a few hours ago welcomed two benefactors in their lives in the next second. In the future, when they became a renowned actor, a famous director, and screenwriter, the two of them would still be thanking them for this encounter in important interviews.
Jiang Huai was an efficient person. As soon as he signed the contract, he immediately transferred half of the investment money.
An Xin acted quickly and immediately spread the news of casting positions in the industry. Feng Bin had known many capable but not famous actors from his many years of filming. Those people lacked opportunities the most.
Feng Bin specially notified all the actors with good character and acting skills on WeChat.
Hence, many people knew that Jiang Huai had invested in a television drama that did not select actors according to their popularity.
When Yuan Shao heard the news, he decided to give it a try. The movie he was filming with Tan Si would wrap up in a week, so he had to quickly find a way out for himself.
Most importantly, when he was serving Zhou Yun in bed these few days, he felt that Zhou Yun was a little dissatisfied with Tan Si. It was best if he did not get involved between the two of them for the time being. However, he could not stop working during this period of time. It was very difficult for actors who did not have popularity to take on a good role. Now that there was finally a drama that prioritized quality, he had a feeling that this drama might become popular!
There was a lot of work to do in the early stages of the production. As Tan Ming waited for the notice of the start of filming, she took half a day every day to practice her acting skills. Then, she studied the script and teased Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi. She chatted with her brothers and Jiang Zhen on WeChat from time to time to communicate with them. Her days were leisurely.
Si Cheng, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. He felt that he was living in dire straits every day.
Zheng Wen also felt that she had become a joke in the upper-class society. She had always prided herself on being able to control her husband. Now, her reputation had been torn to pieces by Si Ming.
“Oh, Mrs. Si, 1 haven’t seen you in a while. Why are you so free to come to the beauty salon today?”
Zheng Wen turned around and realized that it was her arch-enemy, Mrs. Li. She refused to lose. Zheng Wen straightened her back and revealed her usual elegant smile. “Mrs. Li, it’s indeed been a long time. 1 come often, but I just haven’t bumped into you.”
Mrs. Li covered her mouth and laughed coquettishly. “I was worried about you when I saw the news previously. Now, it seems that 1 was overthinking. Look at you. More than 20 years ago, I told you to give birth to another child. Our traditional thinking has always been that it’s good to have more children. You insisted on nurturing and refused to give birth to more kids, causing Si Cheng to have no siblings who can help..”
